Well, according to http://distributions.linux.com/howto...O/pcmcia.shtml the pcnet_cs driver might be the way to go.

Sorry, I was googling Linksys homelink 10/100 pci adapter and that came up... Haha
Isn't there any version number/model number for the card?

I did netconfig and set up dhcp and then did ifconfig -a and i saw that eth0 was listed and then i did "ifconfig eth0 up" and then "dhcpcd eth0" and i got the message dhcpcd is already running. so i thought everything would work fine and i tried to open mozilla and load a web page and BAM! it said mozilla.org could not be found so it still doesnt work

What does ifconfig without any options say. Did you setup your DNS servers correctly in your /etc/resolv.conf file or using netconfig ? It should point to the DNS servers of your provider (ISP). Maybe configuring your DHCP server on your router will be a solution for this.

dhcp is set up correctly on my router im absolutely positive of that, i cant post ne thing right now but will tomorrow

**lakerdonald** · 02-05-2005

That and you kind of did the steps in the wrong order. It's:
1.configure
2.verify with ifconfig
3.ifconfig eth0 up
4.dhcp
Sometimes doing an ifconfig eth0 up will mess things up, but you should be okay since you didn't do "ifup"

thats the order i did it in i just write it down all messed up for some reason... sorry about that

with the new adapter after i run ifconfig i get this:

Code:
